Canada Malt and Molsen Brewery tours the farm

Last week we had an unexpected group of 20 or 30 people from Canada Malt and Molsen Brewery drop in to the farm. Elna was combining peas. I was hauling them home from the combine. I was also drying our malt barley. Ryan Dodd the country operations manager for Canada Malt was touring these people around. At the last minute he thought he would just stop at the farm and see if we were doing anything with malt barley. He was in luck as we were drying our barley. Keri and Randy were at the farm working with the vegetables when they arrived. They toured the group around the grain bins and showed them how we handle our crops. This was very interesting for the processors of the barley we grow as they don't get a chance like this very often. There was people from western and eastern Canada and from the United States. After the tour of our facilities they wanted to shop for veggies and preserves in our farm store which was a plus for us. Talking with Ryan the next day he claimed this stop was a big hit especially for the brewers.
